Grills. Clean all surfaces of any food debris. Disconnect the propane tank, and then disassemble the grill. Be sure to wear work gloves for protection.

Most plastic parts can also be recycled; follow local municipal guidelines for plastic recycling. Metal-plated parts, caster wheels, gauges, hinges, and regulator/hose assemblies should be disposed of in your standard domestic garbage waste disposal system. For batteries and electronics, check with your local government for disposal practices. Also, be sure to contact your manufacturer or consult your owner’s manual for further details.

Many plastic parts can also be recycled; follow local municipal guidelines for plastic recycling. Insulator cones, door magnets, logs, lava rocks, weight plates, wheels, and regulator hose assemblies should be disposed of in your standard domestic garbage waste disposal system. Contact your manufacturer or consult your owner’s manual for further details.

Propane Tanks. Many landfills, recycling centers, and scrap metal dealers cannot recycle unwanted tanks because of the residual propane inside. However, most propane exchange companies, including Blue Rhino, will take them and recycle them at no cost to you. Simply leave your empty beside a propane exchange display.
